Most people do. I'm hoping that the bore is good enough that I can just get a hone and use the Vitara pistons.

I got the intake manifold off and stripped it bare today. Every little bolt, nut and plug has been bagged, tagged, and inventoried. I am not leaving anything to chance this time around.

The IM is really dirty inside, lots of carbon build-up. I sprayed it with some Brake-Kleen and it helped alot, but I'd like to get it mint before using it. Any suggestions to get all up inside of the runners and such?

Well whenever i spend money on tools i feel like it is very well spent, after all they do last a long time.

Btw, props for tackling this job yourself, quite a task ahead of you but im sure you'll learn a lot and save a lot by doing the work yourself.
with that said, start tearing it up!!

Thanks man. You should def. go to the meet.

 

when i got my intake manni there was a lot of crap inside i spray brake cleaner,wd 40 and any other liquid that could possibly clean it but the **** was still there until i grabbed the hose with a nozzle and power washed the inside and it cleaned it up pretty nice.

 

sand blast the bitch. OR if you dont like that route, oven and grille cleaner worked wonders on one i cleaned up.

 

Gasoline and a match...haha. Thats what I used on always used on my dirtbike pipes. Worked great.

i do that ****, it rocks. you will need to clean up stuff a little bit before, but thats what they are made for taking grease off metal. don't belive me, try your valve cover. moms get over things. it's the wife you have to watch for.

Mine would go NUTS if I put my valve cover in the dishwasher. I guess I will have to do it will she is gone.

 

when i got my intake manifold it was spray painted and i bought air craft remover to take the paint off... a little spraying i relized it took the carbon out of it with no scrubbing just a little spraying with the hose

 

The brake-kleen did an amazing job already. I may stick it in the bath tub and scrub the **** outta it. I'm debating whether or not I'm going to go ahead and clean and paint everything. Like paint the block, head, and intake mani high temp aluminum paint.

Do a search for Honda Crank Pulley and it'll come up. They have a couple different styles too.

Barney engine FTW.

 

BTW: Bought this just now.



Damn I am being thorough with this engine build.

 

did that a6 you bought come with a dizzy?

Nope. I am going OBD1 so I don't need it anyway. If you want one, you can have my SOHC ZC dizzy when I actually swap in the new motor.

 

I got in the couplers and t-bolt clamps in today along with my ring filer. The clamps are too small. Someone buy them so It's not a complete loss...

 

Well ****, today ain't that great of a day.

Got the block torn down (except for the internals) and the head off. There is some surface rust in the cylinders. After alot of wiping down with WD-40 and brake-kleen, I got the rotating assembly to move. The walls look ok, and I think it may be more sludge than it is rust. But who knows. That's what happens when you buy a motor that was stored with no spark plugs in it.

Looks like I may have to overbore it and build it the right way instead of cheaping out on the Vitaras.

EDIT: Lol at the triple post.

no need to waste money on that. two headstuds, a ni**er bar, and some force will get it off.

 

I plan on calling Braunings Motorsports tomorrow to see when I can bring the block by for a hone. If it takes care of it and the bore is straight, and the size if fine, then alright. If it's pitted and not gonna work, then an overbore is in order.
